Winhall

-- On Nov. 19, Winhall Police responded to a report of a shoplifting incident at the Winhall Market on Route 30. Upon arrival, the police learned that three male subjects had been in the store and shoplifted some specialty items and a half gallon of maple syrup. The subjects left the store and passed the items off to a third male who was waiting outside. The male subject brought the items back into the store asking for a return and took the cash return and left.

When the men left the building, an employee who acted on suspicions went out and got the license plate of their car as they left and a BOL was put out for the vehicle which was registered to a woman in Essex Junction. Sgt. Thomas Crowe was shown the surveillance video from the market and the subjects were clearly identified as stealing items and then coming back into the store. In checking the history of the vehicle, Crowe found other complaints of shoplifting where the same vehicle was used in similar incidents in Lincoln and North Hero, since September. A search of the area by several Vermont police departments was not able to locate the vehicle at this time.

On Nov. 21, Sgt. Derrick Tienken of the Winhall Police Department spotted the vehicle coming into Winhall again on Route 30 and stopped the vehicle. Tienken recognized the three males in the vehicle as being the persons from the Winhall Market theft. While making the stop, officers from the Vermont State Police in Rockingham reported to Tienken that they too were looking for the three male subjects and the vehicle in relation to a retail theft in Weston that day, where they used the same M.O. as in Winhall and they responded to Winhall to assist.

Arrested for retail theft in Winhall and cited for theft in Weston by the Vermont State Police were Dennis Barbour, 51, of Rutland, Patrick Newton Jr., 21, of Brandon, and Patrick Newton Sr., 59, of Pittsford. All of the subjects will appear in Vermont District Court on Jan. 7, to answer to the Bennington County charges.

-- On Nov. 23, Winhall Police stopped Jon Nolan, 22, of Manchester, for speeding on Route 11. Nolan was found to be under the influence of alcohol and was arrested for DUI. Nolan provided a breath sample of .098 percent. Nolan was cited to appear in Bennington Superior Court Criminal Division on Dec. 17.
